Differet take on the boathouse

Almost finished processing all the shots from my quick pop over to Tassie. Still not sure on this one. This is how I framed it in camera, but I'm still trying to sell myself on the shot. I like that it's different, but something just doesn't feel 'right' to me. Not sure... perhaps it is squashed in the frame, or too noisy.... C&C definitely appreciated.

Great composiiton on this image in my opinion, great depth of size and perspective :up: :up: . The colours look at bit over cooked at my end..

No amount of processing will fix bad composition - trust me i have tried.

:agree: with Gerry.

It looks great with a n unusual compressed view. Even the haze seems to work however you could try and remove it to see whether it will make a difference.

The colours seem ok at my end. [uncalibrated dell ultrasharp]

The colours dont look right here on my end (non-calibrated monitor though) but I think what your missing is a central focal point. There is a lot of depth but not much to draw the eye.
